      The courthouse in Carthage is the second most photographed location in Missouri. If you want a court date this is the one you want to go to.

      Boots Court, Route 66, Carthage MO. This was an awesome place to hang. No TV, just a radio playing all the hits all the time. Click image for larger version  Name:	09-IMGP0104.JPG Views:	1 Size:	74.3 KB ID:	58070

      The Worlds Largest Belt Buckle is in Abilene KS. It was hotter than heck when we took this picture.

        Just one of many pictures we took at the St Francis Motorcycle Museum. Take a look at this the next time you complain about your cold weather riding gear.

        Touching 150 million year old dinosaur bones was cool. The lady in the car parked next to us was annoying as she complained about the heat. Bless her heart.

        Nebo Loop Road, UT. !7 miles in it was gated due to snow. No sign to inform you of that little tidbit of info. Sure was pretty though, all 34 miles of it.

          I like all things Texaco. Inside the garage were an immaculate 69 Camaro RS, a 70 Challenger, and a 68ish Plymouth Fury.

            It wouldn't be a Susan and Tim ride report without the obligatory rainy highway photo!

          That place would work for us on a Arkansas or Texas trip.

            FYI, make sure that you ask for a room with 2 beds. The ones shown here with the covered parking are single bed. Ours was the one straight back behind the bike.

            I saw the pictures of the 2 bed rooms and wondered if certain rooms had the covered parking. The 2 bed rooms looked roomier.
